How do they match: Structural Iron and Steel Workers

  • Raise, place, and unite iron or steel girders, columns, and other structural members to form completed structures or structural frameworks. May erect metal storage tanks and assemble prefabricated metal buildings.

  • Bolt aligned structural steel members in position for permanent riveting, bolting, or welding into place.
  • Connect columns, beams, and girders with bolts, following blueprints and instructions from supervisors.
  • Drive drift pins through rivet holes to align rivet holes in structural steel members with corresponding holes in previously placed members.
  • Fabricate metal parts, such as steel frames, columns, beams, or girders, according to blueprints or instructions from supervisors.
  • Fasten structural steel members to hoist cables, using chains, cables, or rope.
  • Force structural steel members into final positions, using turnbuckles, crowbars, jacks, or hand tools.
  • Hoist steel beams, girders, or columns into place, using cranes or signaling hoisting equipment operators to lift and position structural steel members.
  • Hold rivets while riveters use air hammers to form heads on rivets.
  • Pull, push, or pry structural steel members into approximate positions for bolting into place.
  • Ride on girders or other structural steel members to position them, or use rope to guide them into position.
  • Verify vertical and horizontal alignment of structural steel members, using plumb bobs, laser equipment, transits, or levels.
